Once Upon A Time Gets Gayer Than A Rizzles and Johnlock Ham Sandwich In The FinaleTo take the relationship from a simmering subtext to blatant main text is completely in line with the show’s mission to redefine fairytales and dole out happy endings like candy. Two ladies uniting in love for their son (and possibly each other yes please) is just a logical as hell next step.

"It is episodes like this one that remind us of why Kalinda Sharma is such a vital part of the television landscape. She pursues truth with a frustrating persistence. She demands justice—but a justice wrought from her own moral code, forged by her life as a queer woman of color. She is not Alicia or Will, affluent and straight and white and content to bargain with the law. She is not represented or preserved by that law.

"Regina’s back as mayor (I would pay to see the moment she reinstated herself) and content to bide her time, needling Snow like the perfect asshole she is and making passes at Gregowen because he’s the only guy in town she isn’t related to or forced to spend the last twenty-eight years with. Their interactions present a whole new Regina. She’s playful like the Evil Queen at her height, but there’s a strain of authenticity in her overtures. Which makes the moment she hits on Greg really bizarre. Whether the writers like it or not the character has moved past such bald rejections of propriety. They keep trying to drag her back to a place they and Lana Parilla very ably navigated her away from."
